Why Obama May Be Terrified by Trump Commuting Blagojevich's Sentence pjmedia.com/trending/shoul… #NewsandPolitics via @pjmedia_com
When the Senate-seat-for-sale scandal broke, Obama denied having any contact with the governor about his Senate seat, and his transition team conducted an internal investigation, which obviously cleared him--because what other conclusion would the Obama transition team come to?
However, the criminal complaint and sworn testimony during Blagojevich’s trial contradicted Obama’s statements, as did media reports. Obama advisor @davidaxelrod also revealed that Obama spoke directly w/Blagojevich about the Senate seat--though later claimed he misspoke.
Blagojevich even wanted Obama subpoenaed to testify in his trial. One government witness in the trial testified that Obama sent intermediaries to negotiate on his behalf about who should be named to fill his former seat--directly contradicting Obama WH claims to the contrary.
Now that Blagojevich is a free man, slighted by Obama but ingratiated by Trump, it could mean that he'll be willing to talk more freely about Obama’s illegal actions in the Senate-seat-for-sale scandal.
I’d love to see that happen. That scandal was one of many that Obama was never held accountable for.
